Maruti Suzuki Sets Record as First Indian Carmaker to Reach 3 Crore Sales

Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. has become the first Indian automaker to cross cumulative sales of three crore vehicles, marking a major milestone that reflects the dominance of the country’s largest car manufacturer over its 42-year history.

The New Delhi-based company reached its first crore sales in 28 years and 2 months, the second crore in 7 years and 5 months, and the third crore in just 6 years and 4 months, according to data released by the company in its monthly updates. These figures also include sales made to other manufacturers such as Toyota India.

The company’s latest top performers, the Brezza and Fronx, also rank among the ten best-selling models, highlighting the growing popularity of SUVs even within India’s biggest small-car brand.

While the three crore milestone is a remarkable achievement, Maruti Suzuki CEO Hisashi Takeuchi emphasized that the company’s journey is far from complete. “With car penetration at about 33 vehicles per 1,000 people, we know our journey is far from over,” he said in a statement on Wednesday, November 5, 2025. “We will continue striving to bring the joy of mobility to as many people as possible while contributing to both the economy and the environment.”

On Tuesday, Maruti Suzuki shares declined 1.76% to ₹15,370.45 each on the BSE, while the benchmark Sensex closed 0.62% lower at 83,459.15 points. The stock market remains closed today in observance of Guru Nanak Jayanti.
